Sub Q serum: is it just me or does it smell horrible?

I've been using the Hylamide sub Q serum for about a week. It has made my skin look fab, BUT I find the smell nauseating. A bit like raw meat and stale bread; I have to hold my breath when putting it on because the smell makes me feel a bit sick.

Is it just me? Or have I got a bad batch? Opinions, please!

I have it and can't say I notice a smell at all. I can sniff it in the morning and check!

Nettletheelf · 14/05/2016 22:29

Would you mind? I have to steel myself before I put it on! Thanks.

Does smell a bit odd. You do get used to it though!

hollinhurst84 · 14/05/2016 22:48

No prob, I'm home in early hours so shall have a sniff. Or waft it in front of the cat for his opinion!

I use it, haven't noticed it smelling of anything. Maybe you have a faulty one?

Just sniffed. No discernible smell. Made cat sniff it and he did a Hmm face and tried to lick it (he runs from anything strong smelling)

hollinhurst 😂😂😂😂

hollinhurst84 · 15/05/2016 03:55

Well there was nobody else to ask if it smelt vile at 3am! Grin no cats were harmed

LovelyLungtch · 15/05/2016 04:10

Yes I've just bought some and the first thing I noticed was the awful smell.

BringMeTea · 15/05/2016 07:07

It does smell.

Nettletheelf · 15/05/2016 07:23

Not just me then! Hollinhurst's cat is welcome to drink mine. Perhaps it's the smell of raw meat that attracts him.

It definitely smells unpleasant.
Makes me pretty though
